Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/3 cup coconut oil or any oil of your choice
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it to prevent sticking.
- Blend Cottage Cheese: Pop the cottage cheese into a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth and creamy. This smooths out the curds for a soft muffin crumb.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blended cottage cheese, eggs, coconut sugar, honey (or maple syrup), and coconut oil until smooth and well combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour, chocolate protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Incorporate Milk and Chocolate Chips: Stir in the milk until fully incorporated and the batter looks thick and chocolatey. Fold in most of the chocolate chips, reserving a few for topping.
- Fill Muffin Cups and Add Toppings: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling them to the top. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips on each muffin for a bakery-style look.
- Bake: Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool on a wire rack before serving to allow them to set and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Blending the cottage cheese until smooth is essential for a tender muffin texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
- Use honey or maple syrup according to your preference for sweetness and flavor.
- Oil choice can be substituted with other neutral oils like canola or vegetable oil.
- Chocolate chips on top add visual appeal and extra chocolate bursts.
